Frontmatter -- Table of Contents -- List of Illustrations and Tables -- Book Concept and Preface -- Note to Sound and Sculpture -- Introduction -- The Paradoxes of Robert K. Merton: Fragmentary Reflections -- Looking for Shoulders to Stand on, or for a Paradigm for the Sociology of Science -- R. K.

Merton’s Key Concepts to the Analysis of Gender Differentiation in Society -- A Tribute to Robert Merton: Protestant and Catholic Ethics Revisited -- The Concept of Ambivalence in the Relationship between Science and Society -- Re-evaluating the Place of Science in Evaluating Modernity -- Democracy and the Normative Structure of Science after Modernity -- The Matthew Effect Writ Large and Larger: A Study in Sociological Semantics -- Repetition with Variation: A Mertonian Inquiry into a Lost Mertonian Concept -- Robert K. Merton and the Transformation of Sociology of Knowledge and Possible New Directions -- Bibliography -- List of Contributors -- Index
Summary: Offers a comprehensive perspective on knowledge production in the field of sociology. Moreover, it is a tribute to the scope of Merton's work and the influence Merton has had on the work and life of sociologists around the world. This is reflected in each of the 12 chapters by internationally acclaimed scholars witnessing the range of fields Merton has contributed to as well as the personal impact he has had on sociologists. This approach is in itself a tribute to Merton: an analysis of knowledge production through a contextualized review of an author's life-work – a quintessentially "Mertonian" enterprise.
